I am most excited to read the Fairytales I chose, as well as the myths about why things are the way they are (for example, "where lightning comes from, how the elephant got its funny-looking lips, and why parrots just repeat what they hear, not daring to say what they are really thinking!" I'm also interested in reading about Greek mythology, because I've always found stories about the the Greek Gods really entertaining, so I'm looking forward to reading these!

I think this horizon picture is gorgeous and can see it being the setting to an intriguing story.
